There are two answers here but we should learn to chose the most intense one. Now listen. The cilia is also contained in the oral groove and not on the gullet and also note that the food vacuole is not stationary during the feeding of paramecium , but when its isn't feeding its stationary. So I would advice you choose the one without complications which is C as the odd answer. Thanks

There are two answers here....
.
In paramecium, the gullet is not lined with any cilia, but the oral groove is.
.
Also, it's vacuole isn't stationary.
.
So option C and E are correct.

Bt in paramecium, gullet is lined wt cilia, so i feel d ans shud b 'E' since d vacuole z nt specified (i.e either food or contractile vacuole)

you're correct tho the answer is C and E,

the oral groove doesn't have cillia and the vacoule can never be stationary ... its a question error ...

The correct answer is **E. Its vacuole is stationary**. This statement is not true of paramecium, because it has a pair of contractile vacuoles that pump excess water out of the cell. The other statements are true of paramecium, as they describe its shape, structure, and feeding mechanism.

The food vacuoles circulate along a definite path in the cytoplasm. so, the answer is 'e'

the paramecium uses its cilia to engulf food particls by beating it.i'd go for e

There are two contractile vacuoles present close to the dorsal side, one on each end of the body. They are filled with fluids and are present at fixed positions between the endoplasm and ectoplasm.
